Recent genetic evidence suggests all humans originated in Africa around 60,000 years ago from one single man, based on analysis of the Y chromosome. Ice cores and tree rings have helped reconstruct past volcanic eruptions like one around 535AD that may have contributed to political and climate changes, including a potential role in the rise of Islam. Deciphering Mayan hieroglyphics has given insights into their civilization, but the language remains difficult to fully decode due to destroyed texts and lack of materials to compare it to.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Â
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But thereâs more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, youâll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the âApproveâ button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
Butâif the âRejectâ button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

2. Journey of Man Recent single origin hypothesis states that human ancestors originated in Africa Analysis of the Y chromosome methods used in tracing the history of early humans Thirteen genetic markers on the Y-chromosome differentiate populations of human beings.
3. Journey of Man The earliest groups of humans are believed to find their present-day descendants among the San people a group that is now found in western southern Africa. It is believed, based on genetic evidence, all human beings in existence now descend from one single man who lived in Africa about 60,000 years ago
4. Catastrophe! Ice cores in Antarctica and pine rings from Sierra National forest help tell the story of early volcanic history Our century is one of the most quiet with respect to volcanoes Massive volcanic eruption around 535AD Krakatoa was possibly the cause of the climatic catastrophe Could have possibly lead to bubonic plague in Rome Avars extracted massive amount of gold from weak roman empire
5. Catastrophe! Could have possibly lead to the fall of Teotihuacan empire Huge political consequences stemmed from catastrophe All of the problems that surround the eruption of 535 fed into early evolution of Islam Yellowstone caldera might be the next eruption that could trigger another climatic catastrophe
6. Little Ice Age: Big Chill Just a few degrees drop in overall global temperature created huge impact. 1300-1850 was a period of cataclysmic cold that caused a global mayhem. Froze Viking colonists in Greenland Aided to black death in Europe Destroyed Spanish Armada Possibly trigger for French revolution
7. Little Ice Age: Big Chill The global cooling caused the New York Harbor to freeze over Two feet of snow fell on New England in the summer months of June and July. Climatologists think it could possibly happen again. Global warming could possibly trigger an ice age.
